Where would you like to use your shoes? The climate in these areas will have a major impact on the type of lining used in your shoes.

• TEXTILE LINING appro­priate for this climate: dry

• GORE-TEX appro­priate for this climate: temperate

Shoe type

What are your tour plans? Depending on the terrain and what you have to carry, you need more support or flex­ibility.

• Climbing-Shoe: Char­ac­teristic features include a soft sole and an arch adapted to the form of the foot, a quality that creates the tightest, air-free fit. The soles feature solid grip and thus produce a high level of friction.

• MID-Shoe: The boot extends over the ankle and covers the base of the calf.

• LO-Shoe: The low-cut shoe (LO) covers the foot and extends to the base of the ankle.

• QC-Shoe: The quarter cut is primarily used in women’s footwear. Because women’s calves begin somewhat lower than men’s do, the padded edging is a little lower. The upper extends over the ankle and slightly covers the base of the calf.

• HI-Shoe: The high boot extends well over the ankle and covers part of the lower calf. As a result, the upper provides comfortable and good rolling prop­erties on the ankle and base of the leg.

Size

When recom­mending shoe sizes, LOWA calculates with an addi­tional length of 15 mm (12 mm for children). This has already been considered in the following information. Indi­vidual foot shapes and personal fit pref­erences can deviate from these recom­mend­ations.
The foot length (mm) is a recom­mendation of LOWA, which is based on scientific findings. To the LOWA size chart …
